Hello, new followers! If we’re newly acquainted, I’m a professional illustrator based in Seattle. I approach all my subjects with a graphic sensibility, emphasizing color and composition to convey the wonder of the natural world.

A foggy morning in late Cretaceous Montana. The carcass of a large softshell turtle becomes a battleground for Hell Creek's two most ferocious apex predators...
I'm a little late to nano hype but I've got to fill my quota for one non-avian dinosaur per year

It's Trilobite Tuesday! The Devonian trilobites that emerge from outcrops aligning Bolivia's sky-high Altiplano plateau, like this Belenopyge, rank among the most difficult-to-obtain trilobites in the world—mostly because they're located more than 11,500 ft (3,505 m) up in the Andes Mountains.

The last leaves of autumn glow even brighter to a hungry pair of Therizinosaurus, bulking up for a long winter. These strange dinosaurs are some of my favorites, and though they're slow movers, they made it just in time to be included in my new calendar!

Rudolph Zallinger's Kronosaurus, done for the beloved 1960s Brooke Bond Dinosaurs tea card series, never fails to make me laugh. Why's he flopping around in the shallows? Can he get back into the water? It's surely meant to look intimidating and scary, but I just feel bad for the poor thing!

If you doubt that dinosaurs still walk the earth, look no further than the Shoebill Stork. This piece evolved through a few iterations before landing on this final version, but I think it was worth the effort. Prints available in my shop!

I’m a better writer than JKR could ever dream to be. I’m so powerful I’ve made people weep over the death of a mosquito. Put my latest on the stack of books by trans authors you could buy from and tangibly support right now.

Sailors of the future take heed: strange new creatures hunt the radioactive waters of the post-fallout oceans. Filtering pollutants like plankton, the Detritus Devil will attack and destroy passing vessels, smashing them down to edible scraps to consume at their leisure.

I've been casually job hunting the last few weeks and just feeling totally discouraged. Nearly every single "creative" job listing I come across is just some AI start-up bullshit. I'd rather set my own house on fire.

Strange sightings are a feature of the PNW, and the long history of mysterious incidents was my inspiration for this year's design for the NWFF's Local Sightings Film Festival!

I've been working on this Mosasaur linocut for many months, and I think I've taken this specimen as far as it can go. This process is a good exercise in learning how to step back and let a project breathe between rounds. Linocut is definitely not a medium that rewards rushing.

This monitor lizard has been lurking in my sketchbook for quite some time, and I recently decided to give her the attention she deserves.
